The Mets have told Yoenis Cespedes to put away the golf clubs for a while now that they’ve finally put him on the disabled list with a strained right quad.
General manager Sandy Alderson acknowledged that it was “bad optics” for Cespedes to play 18 holes before Wednesday’s game in The Bronx — especially because he wound up aggravating the injury during the Mets’ loss.
He added that team doctors did not believe his activities on the golf course contributed to the leg injury.
